Russell's Reserve 13 Year Old Barrel Proof Spring 2025

Nose: Sweet vanilla bean frosting, rich brown sugar, fresh caramel, dark cherry, baking spices (clove, nutmeg), and a subtle dusty‑rickhouse undertone.

Palate: Silky and full‑bodied, with dark chocolate, molasses‑glazed fruit (plum, cherry), cola, orange‑infused cream, and a firm oak structure balancing expressive spices.

Finish: Long and warming—with mature charred oak, leather, peppery rye spice, lingering dark fruit syrup and a slow drift into toasted vanilla.

Serve neat in a Glencairn or tulip glass at room temperature to experience the full maturity and intensity of the 13‑year aging and high proof. Add a few drops of spring water if you prefer to unlock more subtle layers of fruit and spice. Ideal for savoring slowly, as a standout bottle in a tasting flight, or a special‑occasion sip deserving of reflection.
